testing some fiber shot cup steel


Recommended Posts

Going shooting today and i am trying out some ( new ) fiber shot cup 26g steel that i have loaded up to try they patterned quiet good but are abit slower than what i would normaly use. but they were a dream to load up and everything fit in the case nicely with a good crimp to finish it off.

I have one concern about the wad but i will look into it today while shooting and will report back on what there like.

Well they kill well 3 Pheasants 2 woodcock and 2 very nice pigeons

Pheasants would 35-40 yrds and one well over 40 all dead no runners so that was good and the pigeons were a good hight and it was bloowing a gale on that drive lol. So all in all for a light 26g load of just over 3mm steel in 12gauge they worked well.

A few wads was given to me to load with a recipe that they have had a the proof house to test in the field as i thought that they would be to slow as i know slowish steel dont work as good i cant remember the speed or presure figures off top of my head but seem to remember that they was about 1400fps. I know that they come in different sizes which i will be trying out i am not sure how many or the price or even if they are for sale yet but i will find out when i speak to them tomorrow morning. There is a couple of little niggels to look into but at the moment they get the :good:

Easy to slit 4 ways

load easy (new cases)

i found them a good hight and gave a good crimp with the load i used

i will add things as i have any info regarding price and location when i speak with them to make sure they have some in stock
